'iimericks There was a young teacher named Park VVho gave everyone a red mark, Except Robert Moore, Vtfho got ninety-four, But everyone knows heis a shark. There once was a poet named Chaucer, VVho always would drink from his saucer. His wife, so they say, At last took it away, As he was unable to boss her. There was a young Junior named Bowe. NVho all about farming did know. In class he'd oft' speak, About pigs that did squeak, And how one should handle the hoe.

Also that great year of football, All the fleecy goats we caught, How we tore at that old Faribo. The score was si.rty-eight to naught. Then they told us we were Juniors, Which fthey sayj is made for ease,' But we couldn't rind it that way, But had to work like hfty bees. Here we took our plane geometry, And changed it into solid stuff, And here some jolly fnniors left 'us Because they couldn't run the bluff. Then this year we calue grave Seniors, With niarks of toil upon our brow, And with about as much real kizozuicdge As a pure bred fersey cow. This year we found Park D. awaiting And at once he took our eye, Park for officer our last year W'as the Senior's battle cry. Let us not forget one uzore thing, That the Adolphs fainting spell. It turned the school all topsy turzsy, l'Vhile our principal rang the bell. Then we decided to relueuzber Our high school life so dear, So The Orange and Black was founded, To be printed once a year. Now, old Faculty, in our leaving, Are you very, very glad? We know at times we've been niischievous, But really, not so terribly bad. Then dear old Northfield High School, And our schoolmates all, adieu. You deserve a large gold medal, If you'z1e read this poem clear thru.

Last year the school was so large that it was necessary to organize another society. The societies meet every two weeks for a forty-five minute period and some excellent programs are given. Each member must take part some time during the year. Let us hope that this Work will become more and more valuable to the High School students.
